It wasn't black people who have been running the show in Washington the past 200+ years. <BR/><BR/>Abi, I'm pretty hopeful the election won't be close either. In the end, I think people will vote for substance (Obama) over soundbites (McCain).Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875378679299157108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18370478.post-81719563075740167412008-09-22T19:23:00.000-04:002008-09-22T19:23:00.000-04:00I saw a recent poll that said race could cost Obam...I saw a recent poll that said race could cost Obama 6% of the vote. That's a lot of voters, but still, I can't believe the election will be close enough for it to matter. McCain is either a confused old man or a flat-out liar, and Palin won't win many swing voters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18370478.post-25365618506834220062008-09-22T15:42:00.000-04:002008-09-22T15:42:00.000-04:00The Klanservatives wouldn't have won any of their ...The Klanservatives wouldn't have won any of their last 5 Presidential elections without racism weighing heavily in the minds of voters. <BR/><BR/>Saint Ronnie's "strapping young buck," Bush I's Willie Horton, and Chimpy's gay couple (who were a way of allowing bigots to be openly bigoted again) are the Klanservative tools for election victory. This ignorance must be repulsed at every turn, and those who preach it are going to have to be ignored in favor of educating those who might be tainted, but not yet too far gone. A lot of white people may consider themselves superior, but the way in which they make their choices indicates that they are anything BUT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18370478.post-29469905101376378022008-09-22T14:07:00.000-04:002008-09-22T14:07:00.000-04:00That was great.
